These are my winter onions. Some people call them Egyptian Onions or Walking Onions. They don't put a bulb on under the ground. they multiply by putting little bulbs on the top which grow into plants that drop and then root. They tend to be something of a weed, so I have them in a tire to keep them contained. My boy has a huge patch of the stuff at his house. I love this plant because it grows in all but the coldest part of the winter. You cut the green shoots instead of pulling the whole plant. It's great for onions to put in a salad or anything you'd put chopped onions in. I'll probably go up to Jesse's and grab a bunch of sets so people can plant them in their yards themselves. They sold pretty well last year.
God Bless You All!
